#XperienceTravelTheTaylorWay It’s almost Halloween time and you’re finding yourself far from your traditional trick-or-treating grounds. This is foreign territory – fun territory – but you are informed by the distinct lack of pumpkin spice in the air that this isn’t Kansas. Heck, it isn’t even Canberra, but Catalunya, and with All Hallows just around the corner we figured it’d be

#XperienceTravelTheTaylorWay Get out of there no matter what! New Year’s Eve is just around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited. This is the best night of the year, never, ever a let down. Not even once has NYE been a disappointment. We’re based in Barcelona, but so many of us will be in London this New Year’s Eve

#XperienceTravelTheTaylorWay Say sayonara to summer’s shenanigans in style It doesn’t matter if you call the season autumn or fall, all that matters is that it starts in Europe on Sunday September 23rd.

#XperienceTravelTheTaylorWay We’re here with Josh, who’s lord of design and image here at Stoke Travel.  What does that mean, Josh, can you tell us a bit about what you do at Stoke? I always like to say that my job at Stoke Travel is a mix between painting porn and dancing in cages. The latter is more a personal release

#XperienceTravelTheTaylorWay We’re gonna need more than ein stein, Einstein. Oktoberfest is fast approaching and all things Germanic are on our minds again. It’s easy for us to slip into the German way of treating beer like water – particularly when the beer has supposed hangover-dodging properties, we have a culinary hit list just waiting to expand our waistlines, and we

#XperienceTravelTheTaylorWay Oktoberfest is almost upon us, and with it the season that we again start hearing things about the “purity laws” relating to German beers.
